Why does this applet (with an audio clip) fail to load in a browser?

Question

Hello Java Experts.
I am able to compile and run the applet in an IDE. The problem lies when I attempt to run the applet through a browser (such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.). The entire applet fails to load (in the browser) when it includes code pertaining to audio clips, but works fine when it does not contain audio clip related code.
Here is a Short, Self Contained, Compilable, Example that illustrates my problem:
import javax.swing.*;  //  Required libraries
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class Music extends JApplet  //  Music class is a subclass of the JApplet class
    AudioClip music;
    public void init ()
        music = getAudioClip (getCodeBase (), "sample.wav");  //  You may use your own audio file
        music.loop();
    public void paint (Graphics g)
        g.setColor (Color.blue); 
        g.fillRect (0, 0, 800, 600);  //  THIS RECTANGLE IS NOT DRAWN (this is my test to see if the applet loads in the browser)
}Please try to run this applet in a browser so that you can point me to my mistake(s).
Thanks for the help in advance.

1) Configuring the Java Console to open for applets by default - look in it for error messages.
2) Change the name of the WAV to something that definitely +does not exist+ at the code base. (That would most closely replicate my own testing experience - since there is no WAV available here).
